FAQs
What types of deck materials do you recommend for Lawrence’s climate?
For Lawrence’s variable weather—hot summers and cold winters—we often recommend composite or PVC decking. These materials resist moisture, warping, and fading, and require less maintenance than traditional wood. We also offer pressure-treated wood for a more natural look, and we’ll help you choose based on your budget and style.
How do you handle fence weatherproofing for Lawrence homes?
Lawrence experiences a mix of rain, snow, and sun, which can damage fences over time. We apply high-quality sealants and stains that protect against moisture and UV rays. For wood fences, we recommend annual inspections and reapplication every 2-3 years. Our weatherproofing services include cleaning, sanding, and applying a protective coat to extend your fence’s life.
Can you install an automatic gate for a driveway near the University of Kansas campus?
Yes, we install automatic gates for residential and commercial properties near the University of Kansas campus and throughout Lawrence. We offer sliding and swing gates with keypads, remote controls, or smartphone access. Our team ensures proper installation and integration with your existing fence or entryway, and we can work with HOA guidelines if needed.
